Check it out, odds are slim, but I'll register.

It's only if the grand prize fish is in the first ten fish caught. Seems like a gimmick to me. But it could be fun, too bad I don't fish bass or trout very often!

Guess I'd better register.

Oh ya, I won't be fishing any of those lakes.

You know they released the fish in some out of the way place on the lakes where no one fishes.

I know right? And they choose the biggest most difficult to fish lakes as well. A bit unfair to those of us that are shore bound too. Meh, I registered last year, I'll do it again.

The trout will travel all over the lake in search of food. The smallies on the other hand, they don't strike me as long distance travelers.

I registered last year and this year. I heard they tagged 15 fish in Lake Washington (9 bass and 6 trout I think), 9 apiece in American and Potholes. I've never heard of or seen anyone catching a tagged fish yet but it would be great if a report pops up with one or even better if one appears on the end of my line.

Seattle times said 12 smallies and 3 cutthroat are tagged at Lake Washington. They claimed 3 fish caught last year was at Lake Washington. The chances are slim, and surprised that any were caught last year, unless they dropped the fish in a popular area.

Of the three bass that were caught on Washington last year, I know two of them came out of the canals. One of the fisherman was registered, but I don't know what his prize was. I thought I was fishing for a tagged fish on American two weeks ago, but it turned out to just be a fresh scare on his back.

Good to know. I wonder what they won? Probably the $50 cabelas card.

I believe Marc Marcantonio caught a tagged fish last year.
